I’ll be at ConFusion in Detroit next weekend. If you’re going to be there, here’s where you can find me: Friday 9:00:00 PM Who Threw Away My Monster Compendium When was the last time a zeitgeist novel had a bugbear or a cockatrice? How long is it since someone fought a giant, flesh-eating beast…

dispatch from the frontlines graphic novel front.
Here’s something extremely cool: the provisional cover for Issue #1 of the Frontlines: Requiem series of graphic novels, due out by Jet City Comics this spring. I just got the green light to be able to share this with you all. Frontlines: Requiem will be a tie-in of sorts. It tells the story of a…
2016 already?
I’ve been an awful blogger in 2015. I’m pretty active on Twitter and Facebook, but I use them mostly to stay in touch with friends and family (Facebook), and dash off one -liners and short thoughts as they pop into my head during the day (Twitter). But the long form requires one to actually sit…
chains of command, the shocking cover reveal!
Hey, boys and girls—do you want to see the kick-ass cover for Frontlines #4, CHAINS OF COMMAND, due out on April 19th? OF COURSE YOU DO. Pretty sweet, huh? I like all the covers, of course, but I have a particular fondness for the first one, TERMS OF ENLISTMENT. That said, this one may just…
frontlines: the…graphic novel?
Frontlines #4 (Chains of Command) will be out in April, and I am hard at work to see to it that Frontlines #5 (Fields of Fire) will be out in 2016 as well. HOWEVER….there are other things in the works that may be of interest to you, and I hear that I am now free…
it’s a tablet! it’s a laptop! it’s a dessert topping!
I have a severe case of technology ADD. When it comes to hardware, I sometimes impulse-buy shiny things just to try them out and see how they fit my workflow. Sometimes they look and work better on the store shelf or in the YouTube review than they do in actual real-world use, and sometimes they exceed…
brief nycc 2015 weekend recap.
I spent last weekend at NY Comic Con in the Big Apple. As usual, it was a ton of fun, although the teeming mass of humanity that is the Javits Center at Comic Con is something I have to take in limited doses. I did a signing at the 47North booth, a panel with other…
con appearances for the rest of 2015.
I’ll be Author Guest at HonorCon in Raleigh, NC this year. HonorCon (one of two annual conventions around David Weber’s Honor Harrington series of military SF) is taking place from October 30-November 1 at the Hilton North Raleigh/Midtown. I’ll be doing a few panels and do some general milling around to meet people. ALSO: New York…
my sasquan weekend.
Sasquan was my first Worldcon, and it turned out to be quite the doozy for this first-timer. When we arrived on Thursday, the place wasn’t on fire, but smelled and looked like it. The nearby wildfires in central Washington were sending up smoke, and the wind conditions blew that smoke right across and into Spokane….
book deal news.
Minions! I have news for you. You will like these news if you’re the kind of person who likes good Frontlines news. Item the first: 47North has bought my next THREE NOVELS in one package deal. This will mean a.) two more Frontlines books after CHAINS OF COMMAND, and b.) a new book that will…
